What’s that, shining in the sky? What’s a star? Where does everything go when it’s dark? The Horse keeps asking and asking. Karin has to tell him all about the lights and the orchestra in the sky and why night-time comes – because the Horse is just a horse who doesn’t know a lot of stuff, so you can’t just lie down and go to sleep.
This is like Betty Botter's better butter for the tongue, which appeals, of course, to the young.
Silje Bekeng-Flemmen, KlassekampenKarin and the Darkness is a poetic and melodic exploration of children’s great imagination. The author puts the idea of darkness as something frightening for kids aside and instead encourages wonder without caring much about finding answers. This makes the book a lovely little good night story within a good night story.
